Hi, Not possible if RDS database enabled with password authentication. There is no other way RDS can access username and passowrd to connect to the database.

Hi, Yes, the proxy still need access to secret manager. This is because the proxy manages the database connections and not the client application. The client application connects to the proxy endpoint, and the proxy manages the connection to the database. The proxy always uses secret manager to connect to database.

Thank you for your response. Say if I want to connect to RDS PostgreSQL using psql with RDS proxy endpoint with user name and password passed in the connection string, even in this case does RDS Proxy need access to secret manager secret to connect to RDS PostgreSQL?
